Bob Billy’s ‘No Exit To Pico‘ is a burst of energy from start to finish. With driving guitar, a thumping bass-line, it’s the kind of song that keeps you hooked and keeps you moving. The single blends rock, indie, and electronic production into something unique, making it a perfect example of the band’s signature sound — raw, fun, and full of life.
The story behind the song is simple but personal. While living in Los Angeles, frontman Sander Kuit passed a place called Perfect Cleaners every day. He noticed a sign that read “No Exit To Pico” and took a photo, not thinking much of it at the time. But months later, a new guitar riff came to him, and the phrase stuck in his mind. The lyrics, reflecting on the past and the things we’re reluctant to let go of, fit perfectly with the chorus. “Why didn’t you do this or that? / Well… there’s No Exit To Pico” became a way of explaining why we hold on to memories or things we know we need to let go of.
The song is packed with energy, and it’s easy to see why Bob Billy’s live shows are known for their high-octane approach. ‘No Exit To Pico’ has the punch of classic rock mixed with the electronic elements that give it a fresh edge, bringing to mind bands like Depeche Mode and the Beastie Boys.
Dive into the new single ‘No Exit To Pico’ and the growing Bob Billy catalog, and be ready for whatever they drop next. This band’s all about spontaneity, and with their mix of energy and emotion, they’re definitely worth keeping an eye on.
